Nice, always fun for those in attendance to win. Congrats to the winners, and away good to see those in attendance happily showing off their awards ! Also...glad to see you went back to more classy looking trophies Deuce...the ones from last year were hideous, lol...

Agreed.None of that was my choice.They wouldn't tell me if this year's awards were being custom-made or ordered so I was pleasantly surprised to open the box and find all those shiny acrylics...aka "Crystal Katsu."I think perhaps the cost of the venue for the first two years caused a few cutbacks but, since the past two years of massive growth, we can afford to go fancy again.

If I remember correctly, you were told that the contest could not be in Main Events this year, but you never told me. I only found out via David and Christian when I was finalizing my Video Room schedule 2 weeks before the Con. If you had told me, I would have made sure I accommodated the Saturday showing in a much bigger room than it did.

Quite frankly, it should be the other way around. If you *DO* want to know how your entry fared, you should let Deuce know. It doesn't matter to post the exact vote count - first (and second) places are what usually matter to editors.
